Stop your Xbox 360 from crashing with string

I was just doing a bit of random browsing as usual on a Monday morning and I came across an article on Slashdot about a guy who got pissed off with his Xbox 360 crashing all the time and so managed to fix it.
 
I think it has something to do with the power supplies over heating because all he did was raise it off the floor with a bit of string. There you go folks, another public service announcement

Working on the commute

I went up to Edinburgh this weekend and since it’s a 4 hour train journey I thought I’d take my laptop and get some work done. Unfortunately I spent pretty much the entire trip in both directions standing up.

On the way there it was because of the Scotland – Australia match and on the way back there was flooding on the line which meant three trains worth of people were stuck on one.

Better luck next time maybe?
